Experienced Saint Louis Louis Car Accident Lawyers

If you or a loved one have been involved in a car accident, it is likely that your life has suddenly been turned upside-down. Motor vehicle accidents account for millions of injuries every year. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2008 alone there were 2,346,000 people injured in traffic accidents (for more statistics see this document).

Being involved in a car accident can cause numerous problems for the injured. How soon will my car be fixed? Will I get a rental car? Will I be compensated for my pain and injuries? What about my lost wages? Should I talk with the insurance company? Should I sign their paperwork? Having an experienced Saint Louis car accident lawyer will give you the answers to these and many other questions you may have.

Taking Immediate Action is Important

Whether your vehicle was struck by a car, bus or truck, immediate action should be taken to determine the parties responsible. This includes locating relevant witnesses and obtaining photographs of the vehicles involved and any visible injuries. If necessary, a private investigator may be needed to help with the investigation of your case.

Dealing With the Insurance Company

As soon as you get home from your accident, you may receive a telephone call from the other driver’s insurance company. Often times, they may want to take your recorded statement about the facts of the accident before you have even had a chance to put the pieces together yourself. You may still be taking pain medication from the hospital and not able to think clearly. These statements can seriously damage your case. You do not have to give a statement.

What Can You Recover?

If your vehicle has been involved in a car accident or a truck accident within the State of Missouri, what are you entitled to be paid for? Certainly, you are entitled to be paid for the damage done to your vehicle or for the fair market value of that vehicle if it has been totaled in the crash. You should also be provided a rental car while you are unable to use your vehicle. In addition to the vehicle, you are entitled to receive money from the careless driver for the following:

• Past and Future Medical Expenses
• Past and Future Lost Income or Wages
• Compensation for Your Pain and Suffering
• Any Permanent Impairment You Suffer
